It joins home games against Virginia Tech (Sept. 6) and Illinois (Nov. 1) and a road game at Penn State (Oct. 25). All three games will be 8 p.m. starts and televised on the ESPN family of networks.

Still missing from the list is Ohio State’s Nov. 8 trip to East Lansing, a rematch of last year’s Big Ten Championship Game against Michigan State. There remains a possibility it could still receive a post-5 p.m. kickoff with an announcement in the spring or summer. Alabama-LSU is the same day with an 8 p.m. start on CBS.

The Buckeyes played three regular-season night games for the sixth time last season (2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2008 and 2007) and two home night games for the first time.

Ohio State has played a total of 64 night games (kickoff after 5 p.m. local time) and has a record of 42-22.
